Cotton Tail vs Filtered Sunlight
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cotton Tail reads as beige-yellow, while Filtered Sunlight reads as beige-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cotton Tail (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Filtered Sunlight (LRV 81), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cotton Tail runs yellow while Filtered Sunlight is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
